Clearing selection sets

#1

Hi there!
I got a mesh from a client. It’s and obj file. I loaded It in lightwave, saved as a lwo file… It takes ages to save this mesh. After checking the reason seems to be the numerous selection sets that come with the mesh… hundreds of them. Impossible to clear them by hand as you can’t multi select… how can i get rid of all those selection sets at once. I tried a plugin (flush selection set) by TrueArt but It doesn’t work… during a very long time It seems to be doing the job but once finished all the selection sets are still here.

Any idea?

Thank you!

Can I see this object?

Do you used Flush All Selection Sets or Flush Layer Selection Sets?

I have just tried it, with LW v9.5, and tool still worked…

After using Flush All Selection Sets, save file, and open it again… It should not list any sets in Point Stats window anymore…

I tried both actualy… I must say I downloaded It from your website BUT I’m not sure It needs a license or so… I tried It on a simple sphere and It worked with a couple of selections set as a test.
The mesh is about 8 megs. I can send It via FTP? Or I can setup a rapidshare acount if needed!
I’m surprised how fast you answered this post!!!

Thank you!

 If you have your own server, your FTP would be best choice..
 
 But first try saving file after using Flush All Selection Sets.After flushing selection sets are still listed in Point Stats, but they are not in "S" drop-down button. After re-opening, they should not be listed in both. That's at least with mine test objects.. Apparently stats window is not updating its list..

  I'm surprised how fast you answered this post!!!

 Yes, I am too fast.. ;)
